Aluminum Alloy Tent Stakes Pegs, 12-Pack Aluminum Ground Pegs with Reflective Pull Ropes, Lightweight Metal Stakes Pegs for Camping Tents Hammocks

These stakes are great, go for it. The item photo makes them appear to be the ubiquitous triangular aluminum stakes at Wally World and the like, but these are much better.Why ?- They aren’t too long, a typical annoyance with similar stakes in big box camping aisle grab bins. They’re also not weenies that pop out at the first tug.- They are plenty—if not surprisingly— light but not ultra gram weenie Titanium/Helium/magic unicorn light. Save $$ here in exchange for a negligible bit of weight. If you’re concerned about the weight... seriously, don’t fret: these are A-OK.- They are quite sturdy. You CAN bend & wreck them (I have on one) by hard driving into rock or, like me, step/tripping on them but it takes a hearty goof to do so. They’ll last ages if you don’t wail on them like a carnival beast haha.- The three ridge teeth things on the top end are extremely useful, especially if you use paracord for guyline tie-downs. I’ve not seen stakes with this feature and I love it.- You get a bunch. Tent + tarp day shelter, hammock rainfly in wind, ready spares... whatever. It’s nice to have a handful available for now and later.Real world trials and performance:I have a Hyke & Byke 1p Zion for backpacking and generally set up a separate tarp fly with my trekking poles and paracord guys for a day shelter and water collection (Sawyer 1 gal bag) if it is rainy. Makes playing QRP ham radio in camp much more fun :-). Anyway, H&B gear ships with plenty of high quality ultralight stakes but they are SO easy to bend if you hit a root or rock even if being careful. THESE stakes are FAR stronger, similar length and only a few grams each heavier. And yes, H&B’s little pusher disk thing to drive the stakes fits perfectly. Definitely superior. If you use H&B tents or similar gear, this pack of stakes is well worth considering. Plus like I said, you get a bunch.I’ve used these stakes now for three backpacking trips: two in the Hoosier Nat Forest (Deam wilderness) in both high ridge/dense forest and lakeside; and most recently on a 5 day/22 mi loop through Dolly Sods WV... in all environments the stakes dug in, stayed put and didn’t get thrashed even against serious wind gusts. Forest floor, dense sand+small rock, rain/gentle mud & clay, semi-soggy grass... these things got the job done everytime with reasonable site selection and patience. I cannot ask more from my gear.I leave the other stakes in my collection at home now... the new ones have totally proven themselves. The only stakes I miss a little are the skinny hook/crook things that make small grommets on ground tarps easy... but those nasty things bend just looking at them. So I tie up a small paracord loop through the grommets or use zip ties, place these new stakes just outside the grommet (they don’t fit in the hole) and the job gets done.Good luck, happy camping.

Lightweight, very well made. Highly recommended. Only thing I have found to be a problem is the string on the stake will break if put them in with a mallet (harder ground than able to put in bare handed) used a mallet and when tried pulling the stake the string broke. Just used the end of tarp rope and pulled right out. So I suggest changing the string to a slightly longer piece that you could tie a knot in and not just a melted ends together. Just gives you more to grab. Other wise no issue that would cause to not buy again when I need them. For the price I’ll take em.

These are good light weight stakes but they bend pretty easy.

This is not one of those cool, sexy products. Nope. These are tent stakes. However, these are very well-made tent stakes, and if you're in need of new tent stakes these are going to work out perfect for you. My chief complaint with some of the other tent stakes I've used is that they bend way too easy at the notched cutouts. These haven't had that issue. The bag they come with is sufficient, and the reflective ties at the end of each stake are a nice touch. OK, maybe these really are a cool, sexy product?

These tent stakes perfectly staked down my tent. I only have one camping trip in them thus far, but they performed beautifully. The loops of line at the top make for easy removal. I did bend one slightly when pounding into dense, rocky soil. I attribute this to the presence of the rock and my use of a heavy mallet, not a failure of the stake.

Perfect stakes to replace the bad stakes that come with the tent. They are light and my scouts have yet figured how to bend them by hammering them into the ground.

Lightweight, but first time I used the ground was dry and a couple bent easily. Pretty good overall.

I switched to these aluminum stakes rather than the old bendy steel and plastic stakes we had for our 4 person tent. Most of the stakes we could push in with our boots and a couple we hammered in. None of them bent. I think these will be fairly durable, but time will tell.
